This easy Low Carb Supreme Pizza Cups Recipe is so inviting, you won’t even miss the crust!
We’re keeping it low carb today with crustless pizza cups.
A couple years ago I shared a mini pepperoni pizza cups recipe, with itty bitty pizza bites baked in a pepperoni shell. It was such a hit, we’ve been experimenting with all sorts of additional low carb party snacks.
However, when you need to kick a comfort food craving, nothing beats pizza!
So today I’m sharing a slightly larger, slightly meatier, pizza cup variation… Low Carb Supreme Pizza Cups.
Instead of using a mini muffin pan, these little pizzas are baked in a standard-size muffin pan, so that each pizza is 4-5 bites, as opposed to one bite.
They are more filling than the original and hold all the toppings on a classic supreme pizza. Yet they are just as easy to make!
Actually, I think they are faster to make than the tiny pepperoni pizza cups.
Low Carb Supreme Pizza Cups
To get started, all you need is…
- Prosciutto – Thin slices are best. Yet make sure they are not so thin, that they pull into shreds when you try to separate the slices.
- Italian sausage – Cooked and crumbled.
- Pepperoni – For this recipe, I like to buy the mini pepperoni slices. If you can’t find them, use standard pepperoni and cut the slices into little pieces.
- Pizza sauce – For ultra low carb, look for sugar free sauce.
- Cream cheese – For that little extra something in the bottom of each pizza cup.
- Mozzarella cheese – For the cheesy top.
- Bell peppers – You could also add jalapeno slices, or banana peppers.
- Onions – Sliced very thin.
- Black olives – sliced canned black olives are great, or you could mix things up with a different variety of olive.
How To Make Low Carb Supreme Pizza Cups
- First things first, wrap a slice of prosciutto in each muffin cup. Make sure the ends are overlapped, so that as it bakes, it creates a solid cup. You don’t want the fillings to leak out.
- Bake the empty cups. This gives the cups a head-start on turning crispy in the oven.
- Add all the fillings. Use the fillings we recommend for “supreme pizza” or add you favorite pizza toppings.
- Bake again… Until the cheese in bubbly and the cup is crunchy.

These are SO good I can’t believe they’re low carb!
These look so good, the prosciutto is a fabulous idea!
could you use egg roll wrappers instead of prosciutto…..
Hi Sue,
Yes, absolutely. They would no longer be low carb, but would taste great. :)
I really don’t like prosciutto. Is sandwich pepperoni big enough, or just stick with the mini recipe?
Hi Elle,
Yes, you can use the sandwich-size pepperoni! :)
